If you're on your back garden now what can you hear?

Birds.

Some kids screeching playing in a paddling pool.

Other Kids screaming.

Next door neighbours kids kicking a football against my fence.

Occasional panting from one of the dogs. Birds.

Very warm here and lovely and peaceful and quiet.

Neighbours yapping dog.

This time last year I lived in a new build with a tiny garden next door to a couple with 3 kids, 2 dogs, a hot tub, a trampoline and a love of inviting everyone over.

I can hear a lawnmower now but I couldn’t care less.

A builder cutting paving slabs for a neighbours new drive. Yes, I know he should not be making loud noises on a Sunday but the owners have had a terrible time with their renovation so everyone around is being very understanding about weekend noises.

The first builder just walked away saying he had gone bankrupt and left the house with no roof, just a thin plastic cover - in the middle of winter storms! The owners were on holiday abroad and had no idea that there was water running through the interior ceilings until they checked some cameras when they realised the builder was not on site as promised. The builder owes them £13,000 and there is a court case pending.

The owners have taken on the role of project managing the completion of the work but are reliant on various tradesmen helping out in between other jobs they have on as builders are in great demand around here. This means they might be working at weekends, summer evenings and all the recent bank holidays.

I feel so sorry for the owners as do our other neighbours, we just want them to get the job finished as they have been living in a building site for so long.

At the moment birds, in 10 minutes or so it’ll be motorcycles going at 180mph past the end of the road for the next hour, and helicopters. Also can hear race commentary.

It's a beautiful day here in Somerset.

A hedge trimmer intermittently and birds

I got all excited wondering how you could hear Stereophonics, then realised you meant you were listening to them on the airpods.
Best way to drown out unwanted sounds for sure!

Birdsong and parakeet chatter and bees- that's all

Low flying light aircraft. Anytime the weather is even slightly pleasant we have at least two flying around all day. Selfish fuckers.

Birds DH cutting the grass and the neighbours talking

Lawn-movers

Loud seagulls on the roofs and various other birds

Occasional bark from a dog from one of my neighbours' gardens.

Loads of bees buzzing round my flowers, birds, the neighbours doing some gardening, people calling their dogs on the nearby green, and a background bleepy musuc from my son's computer game lol.

Aeroplane. Birds. Kids playing in the garden. Neighbour cutting the grass. Other neighbour talking to, literally, a plank of wood (he's putting a shed/summer house thing up and it doesn't sound like it's going well!)

Birds, tress and the neighbours kids chatting & laughing (not at all screechy). We’re very lucky with our neighbours, we’re in SE London with tiny gardens which all back on to each other, but everyone is respectful of each other.

Traffic,birds and DH clattering about in his shed. God knows what he is doing in there.

Neighbour loudly revving his Ferrari. Yes we all know you have a Ferrari, No it hasn’t made your cock bigger.

I feel for you. Whatever happened to the social convention that you don't do noisy stuff on a Sunday?

Other people’s children playing a variety of games

@JamSlagsNowPlease Had you never heard of Jam Slags till yesterday either?😁

Birds, dh sweeping, a distant plane sounds like a small one with propellers.

My children arguing over the paddling pool. No cars or airplanes, someone shouting for their dog in the woods next to us 😊

I had not, but now I am obsessed with them 😀
